29. Dissociating Contributions of Prediction and Trial-Level Adaptation Using High-Field fMRI and Population Receptive Field Modeling.

Poster

To make sense of the intricate, noisy, and often incomplete soundscape of our dynamic world, human listeners continuously use contextual information to form predictions about future states while also adapting to past sensations. While extensive research supports the relevance of both prediction and trial-level adaptation to aid effective neural processing of sounds, differentiating between the...

18. Electrophysiological Markers of the probability cueing suppression: statistical learning of distractor locations and inter-trial modulation

Visual search performance is facilitated when the singleton distractor occurs at a high probability location where the distractor occurred frequently in the past, compared to locations where it rarely occurred. Additionally, some studies found search becomes slower when the target appeared at the location of the preceding distractor (coincident condition). However, the underlying neural...

42. Learning the statistical properties of temporal patterns

Poster

Series of discrete highly regular sensorimotor events are often experienced as temporal patterns. Studies on rhythm perception, sensorimotor learning and predictive coding in the auditory domain have shown that humans learn, are highly sensitive to and form expectations about the temporal regularities of the environment. A complete understanding of the basic mechanism supporting these...

10. Perceptual adaptation to speech input statistics is driven by predictions from category representations

Poster

Prior research demonstrates that the ‘perceptual weight’ of acoustic input in signaling speech categories shifts rapidly when statistical distributions of speech input deviate from expectations, as when you encounter a foreign accent. What drives this perceptual adaptation is debated. One possibility is that accented or otherwise distorted speech carries enough information to partially...

36. Sequential Temporal Anticipation Characterized by Neural Power Modulation and in Recurrent Neural Networks

Xiangbin Teng

Poster

Complex human behaviors involve perceiving continuous stimuli and planning actions at sequential time points, such as in perceiving/producing speech and music. To guide adaptive behavior, the brain needs to internally anticipate a sequence of prospective moments. How does the brain achieve this sequential temporal anticipation without relying on any external timing cues? To answer this...

35. The trans-saccadic preview effect: Adaptation or active vision?

Christoph Huber-Huber (CCNS, University of Salzburg, Austria)

7/20/22, 11:00 AM

Poster

Our eyes move about three times per second which divides apparently continuous vision into rather discrete snapshots. These spatiotemporal dynamics implied in active vision bring about statistical regularities which impact on perceptual processing. An example are preview effects, which demonstrate that extrafoveal pre-saccadic information contributes to post-saccadic foveal processing. Preview...
